Can't access my XBMC with FTP
#1
Hi,

I've just installed XBMCubuntu on an old PC. But now I am trying to access my XBMC with FTP but it does work. When i'm trying to access my XBMC with Filezilla i am seeing this:

Quote:Status: Connecting to 192.168.2.72:8080...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jamiel

Have you installed a ftp server? I recommend openssh and sftp.

No I haven't, how do you do that?

First of all you're trying to ftp to port 8080 which isn't the default incoming ftp port.

What you will want to do, from a terminal window, is:

Code:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

That should install sshd which listens for incoming SFTP, SSH, and SCP requests.

Then you can use any SFTP client (I use WinSCP) to connect to your XBMC machine.
